Austin		 Great for setup but not so useful for troubleshooting networj issues. For example, the app will indicate the extender is offline which should automatically trigger a "Troubleshoot" button to show. Instead, the troubleshooting menu is buried in the menu options.

Mark Griggs		 When adding an RP-AX58 when it asks for my Wi-Fi password, it will not accept it no matter what I do or which network I choose. It continually says I need to input the wireless network key. Stupid.

Mikael Nordgren		 Tried to setup this with an RT-AX88U. The guide is ik, but times out when trying to apply settings (same SSID as router). Instead I went to the router admin webtool and added AiMesh node, worked right away...

Alexander		 While it does detect the extender, it's useless in helping me sign in to my new Asus Wi-Fi Extender, AX-58. Setup wizard fails due to obscure reason and logging in fails. Didn't get any default credentials on the box either

James Ketter		 I installed it. It did nothing. On the setup screen, it said to open android and setting, select connections and select the asus ssid of you network. Then nothing happened. Nothing at all.

David Widener		 HUGE fail. Been in IT 30+ yrs and could never get it to work/connect/stay connected. Returned it after only having it for 3 hrs. Total waste of time. For those that are hating on reviewers and calling them stupid, this is for you (this review is for an ASUS extender app with an actual extender hardware)

Brian Eberly		 Good app. Could be easier. I am not a novice user. But thinking some novice users may find it hard to setup.

jection		 I could not have setup my repeater without this app. It wasn't easy, tho. Updated firmware thru this app. Then reset again. Then (after uninstalling & reinstalling this app) set up thu this app again. Logged into repeater with a web browser. Switched setting to *Ai Mesh Mode*. Installed "Asus Router" app on phone. Ai Mesh Mode still didn't work after trying to do it thru "Asus Router" app. Plugged extender into Asus router w/a CAT5 cable, worked w/Asus router app. I tried every other way. No.

Raymond Dunne		 No more headaches. I agree with a previous reviewer that Asus has by far the best equipment and ui/firmware/software in this range. I don't have experience with large business based systems but as far as home/family/personal wifi and networking go... Nothing compares in a similar category and price range. I spent just under $200 on my router and it has all the features I wanted and more. A comparable router with similar features from the 4 other major competitors I looked at was $350 and above.

Kam		 All of you guys are complete morons. This isn't the app that you're supposed to specifically use in order to configure your new router. Don't just buy something without any knowledge beforehand or you're gonna end up embarrassing yourself once again and get angry. The real ASUS router app is by far the best compared to all competitors, and yes I've had all brands.
